Maybe My Mother Was Right
A long, long time ago I remember having a discussion with my Mom about movie Tarzans. I think it was about the time Lex Barker became Tarzan at RKO Radio. I said he'll never replace Johnny Weissmueller, Mom said she saw the "Tarzan The Fearless" serial back in the day and thought Buster Crabbe was better than Weismueller. I had seen stills from the Buster Crabbe film but never the feature version until now. This 84 minute version has a lot of action and a lot of plot but because it was a serial and very long, it is also very episodic and has alot of gaps. Buster Crabbe is great as is Julie Bishop. Philo McCollough and Matthew Betz get an honorable mention for their villiany. Picture quality and sound on this is very good, all things considered. The last few seconds of the print are missing however. Curio value only. Check it out.
